Just to be clear here, burden of proof is on whoever makes a claim. Strawmanning is refuting a claim that isn't quite what someone else claimed. Of you claim something exceptional, you need exceptional proof. Such as the mentioned world-will-end claims. If you are merely saying "there's a guy who says..." it's a whole lot easier, you just have to point at where he said it. I'm not making any claims, just pointing out that if someone indeed says that the world will end soon, they gotta do the heavy lifting.
